Drop in power felt
Checking in to see if I am imagining things or if it is a possibility.
My 2013 Electra Glide has been running great since my stage one upgrade. I was not overly thrilled with the sound of my 31/2" Rinehats so I jumped on a deal for a set of V&H downturns. Took it for about a 40 mile ride, really like the lower tone of the pipes but seems to me the bike has less get up and go, off the line it seems a little slower and at high RPM does not seem to get to the speeds it did previously.
I have not hooked the powervision back up to fine tune yet and will do that hopefully on the weekend.
Wondering if what I think I was feeling is a possibility or a common occurrence.

I have those mufflers, and they do kill low rpm because the baffles are ridiculously big - I put a set of BCT Quiet Baffles in the pipes just before the mufflers and couldn't believe the improvement. As far as high speed, probably same effect - reversion waves eliminated, not there to scavenge exhaust...
